The Kitchen Newsletter
Good day,
Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.
Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.
There is a dimension of Scripture that invites us to look beyond words on a page and to contemplate the Person whom the Scriptures reveal.
This is where our journey into the Body of the Word begins.
The Apostle John, on the island of Patmos, received a revelation of Jesus Christ. He did not merely hear a voice; he saw the One who spoke.
“I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…”
— Revelation 1:12
What John saw was remarkable: someone “like a Son of Man,” standing among the golden lampstands. He saw His robe, His golden sash, His head and hair, His eyes, His feet, His voice, His right hand, His mouth and His face.
His eyes were “like blazing fire.”
His feet were “like bronze glowing in a furnace.”
His voice was “like the sound of rushing waters.”
His face was “like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”
— Revelation 1:12–17
This gives us an extraordinary picture.
The Word of God is a living Person.
The Word has an appearance. The Word has a body. The Word can be seen.
Ezekiel likewise describes the figure seated upon the throne as having “the appearance of a man” (Ezekiel 1:26). And Hebrews gives us the understanding what this means:
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.”
— Hebrews 1:3
Therefore, when Scripture gives us detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word, those descriptions are not insignificant details. They direct our attention toward the Person of the Word of God and, through Him, toward the revelation of the invisible God.
Paul says that God gives us:
“the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:6
The face of Christ becomes a window through which the glory of the invisible God is made known.
The Scriptures Must Be Unfolded
Jesus said something very important:
“These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.”
— John 5:39
The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about religious history. They testify about a Person.
And when those Scriptures are unfolded, they produce light:
“The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
— Psalm 119:130
This means that revelation is not simply the accumulation of more biblical information. It is the unfolding of what has been written until the Person being revealed becomes clearer.
Consider one example.
John saw the eyes of the Word and described them as “like blazing fire” (Revelation 1:14).
Ezekiel also describes the appearance of the One seated on the throne in terms of fire (Ezekiel 1:27).
Then Scripture tells us:
“Our God is a consuming fire.”
— Hebrews 12:29
Fire therefore becomes a language through which Scripture helps us contemplate something about God.
And this is where the revelation becomes provocative.
What does the fire tell us?
Isaiah speaks of the Lord with the language of consuming fire:
“His tongue is a consuming fire.”
— Isaiah 30:27
The picture is one of intensity, passion and consuming desire.
The revelation of the Body of the Word, therefore, begins to open our understanding of the desire, appetite, passion and zeal of God.
God is not presented in Scripture as an impersonal force without desire.
He has zeal.
He has longings.
He has purposes.
He has pleasure.
He has passions.
And the revelation of the Body of the Word gives us a framework through which these dimensions of God's Person can be contemplated.
The Body of the Word and the Hunger of the Father
Here the language becomes particularly striking.
If the Body of the Word is revealed as blazing fire, and fire communicates the intensity of divine desire, then the Body of the Word can be contemplated as the aggressive hunger of the Father—the consuming desire of God centred upon the Body of the Word.
This takes us into the language of food.
God commanded concerning the bread of the Presence:
“Put the bread of the Presence on this table before me at all times.”
— Exodus 25:30
Jesus then declares:
“I am the bread of life.”
— John 6:35
And again:
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven.”
— John 6:51
The language of bread, food, table and nourishment therefore becomes part of the biblical vocabulary through which we contemplate the Body of the Word.
The Body of the Word becomes the food before the Father.
The Body of the Word becomes the table of divine appetite.
The Body of the Word becomes the place where the hunger of the Father is revealed.
Song of Songs gives us another striking image:
“Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.”
— Song of Songs 7:2
The imagery is agricultural, nutritional and bodily.
It invites us to see Scripture not merely as abstract theology but as a language filled with pictures—bread, wine, wheat, fire, garments, eyes, faces, tables and bodies.
These images become avenues through which the Person of the Word is unfolded.
The Zeal of God
Isaiah says:
“He put on righteousness as his breastplate… he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.”
— Isaiah 59:17
Notice the language.
Zeal is a garment.
God is described as wearing zeal.
And if the garments of God can be read alongside the revelation of the Body of the Word, then the garment becomes another doorway into understanding the Person of the Word and the emotions expressed through Him.
This brings us to a profound question:
What does God feel?
What is His longing?
What gives Him pleasure?
What provokes His zeal?
What brings Him joy?
What grieves Him?
What does He desire to see in humanity?
What does He search for?
The revelation of the Body of the Word opens these questions.
The Emotions of God
The emotions of God are not presented here as human emotions projected onto God. Rather, Scripture itself gives us language for speaking about God's zeal, compassion, pleasure, anger, grief, longing and delight.
The Body of the Word becomes a rich portal for exploring these dimensions of God's Person.
The detailed descriptions become like containers of revelation.
John sees eyes like blazing fire.
He sees a face shining like the sun.
He hears a voice like rushing waters.
He sees feet like glowing bronze.
He sees a mouth from which comes a sharp double-edged sword.
These are not random images.
They are biblical descriptions through which the Word of God is unveiled.
And as the Scriptures are unfolded, they give light.
That light enables us to see more deeply into the Person of the Father revealed in the Son.
The Holy Spirit Searches the Deep Things
This is where the ministry of the Holy Spirit becomes essential.
Jesus said:
“When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth… He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.”
— John 16:13–15
The Holy Spirit does not lead us away from the Person of the Word of God.
He reveals The Word of God.
He takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known.
Paul adds:
“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 2:10
There are depths in God that cannot be reached merely by intellectual observation.
The Spirit searches.
The Spirit unfolds.
The Spirit illuminates.
The Spirit makes known.
And the Body of the Word becomes one of the great territories through which these depths are explored.
The Body of the Word as the Lamp of God
Return again to the eyes.
“His eyes were like blazing fire.”
— Revelation 1:14
Jesus said:
“The eye is the lamp of the body.”
— Matthew 6:22
The imagery of the eye and lamp therefore gives us another dimension of the revelation.
The Body of the Word, represented by blazing eyes, becomes associated with illumination and searching.
God sees.
God examines.
God searches.
Psalm 11:5 says:
“The Lord examines the righteous.”
Psalm 14:2 says:
“The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.”
This is a remarkable thought.
What is the divine search looking for?
Understanding.
God is looking for people who understand.
And within the revelation we are exploring, He is looking for the understanding of the Body of the Word—the knowledge of Christ that enables us to see the Father more deeply.
The lamp is searching.
The eyes are blazing.
The Scriptures are being unfolded.
The Spirit is searching the deep things.
And light is being produced.
Perhaps, then, the question is not simply:
“Do I read the Bible?”
The deeper question is:
“What do I see when the Scriptures are unfolded?”
Do I merely see words?
Or do I encounter the Person to whom the words testify?
Do I merely collect information?
Or am I receiving revelation?
Do I merely study Scripture?
Or is the Scripture unveiling the Person of the Word and, through Him, the glory of the invisible Father?
This is the invitation of the Body of the Word.
To look again.
To search deeper.
To unfold the Scriptures.
To see Christ.
To know the Father.
Father, thank You for the revelation of Yourself to us through Jesus Christ. Give us eyes to see, hearts to understand and minds capable of receiving the light that comes from the unfolding of Your Word. By Your Spirit, lead us deeper into the knowledge of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father. In Jesus' name. Amen.
